Hi,
This is probably a RH bug, but just thought I'd mention it. There is
no alsa-lib-devel.i386 package in the SL4.4 x86_64 repository. As a
result, there is no 32-bit "libasound.so" (sans version number), so
one cannot compile 32-bit apps that require asound.
A quick scan of the small number of '*lib-devel*' packages suggests
that this might also apply to others as well (eg pwlib-devel and
imlib-devel).
TIA.
